HORSE HAY-RAKE.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO. 244,805, dated July 26, 1881- Application filed May 20, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. HALL, of Tiffin, in the county of Seneca and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hay-Rakes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference "being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to horse hay-rakes; and

the teeth to the head of the same, as will be hereinafter fully set forth and claimed. I

In the drawings, Figure l is an isometric view of a part of a rake-head, showing my manner of attaching the teeth to the same. Fig. 2 is a detached view of myrtooth cap. Fig. 3 shows the manner of constructing the teeth.

A represents a part of a rake-head, to which is attached the cap B, said cap running the whole distance between two teeth, and being provided with a groove, 0, said groove being wide and deep enough to receive two teeth. This cap B is also provided with two lugs, a a, which serve to keep said cap from displacement when it is attached to the head A by means of a bolt, 0, which passes through said head A and the hole b in the cap B.

D E are rake-teeth, which are bent at right angles at their upper ends, forming the arms 0 (1. One of these arms 0 may extend through the cap B far enough to pass the other tooth E, as shown in Fig. 1, and then the end of the arm D be again bent, forming the lug e, to prevent the lateral displacement of either tooth. The teeth can be readily removed or replaced by removing the nut from the bolt 0', and then taking off the cap B.

What I claim is- 1. The combination, with a rake-head and a cap secured to the rake-head, and provided with an elongated groove in its side adjacent to the rake-head, of two rake-teeth having their upper ends bent at right angles and in opposite directions, said bent portions being arranged to overlap each other, and secured in the groove in the cap, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with a rake-head and grooved cap secured thereto, of two rake-teeth having arms cdformed on their upper ends, one of said arms being provided with a lug, e, which engages with the other tooth, whereby the displacement of both teeth from the cap is prevented, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

WILLIAM H. HALL.
